00:00 Ah, France. Sunflowers, cycling and spectacular vineyards.
00:07 But these are not vines for fine wines. They're for one of the world's greatest spirits, cognac.
00:15 I'm Aidy Smith.
00:17 Et voilà .
00:18 And I'm Helena Nicklin.
00:20 Woo!
00:22 And we want to discover the secrets of this refined and resurgent drink.
00:27 I would never believe that's 90%.
00:29 From the alchemy of its blending to the art of its aging.
00:34 That's almost as old as me.
00:36 And with the help of our friends Eddie.
00:39 I've been DJing since the 1980s. This is just like EQing a mix.
00:42 And Yolanda.
00:44 I'm definitely dancing now.
00:47 We'll also explore the other famous booze of this region.
00:53 From unique gin.
00:55 Can we smell the parmesan?
00:57 It's cheesy, yeah.
01:00 To orange liqueur.
01:02 So I've set the stage.
01:03 Let's dance inside.
01:05 And we'll share our favourite ways to enjoy them all.
01:08 That's absolutely delicious.
01:10 One shake.
01:11 One stir.
01:12 Mixy mixy.
01:13 And one sip at a time.
01:15 Who sucked harder because most of it disappeared then?
01:18 That was you.
01:19 Probably wasn't.
01:21 [Laughter]
